Southern German Lager Yeast - WLP 838

A fairly strong fermenter that tends to put more emphasis on the malt aspect of the beer, WLP838 Southern German Lager Yeast is the authentic strain used by brewers from the Munich region for producing world-famous malty Bavarian lagers.

It tends to produce some sulfur and diacetyl that wear off during maturation, so it’s recommended to perform some lagering for the beers produced with this strain. And when used right, WLP838 tends to deliver a really pleasant flavour profile with a nice aromatic character that makes all the Bavarian beers so special.
